qk4l/cp-ru-server repository overview

⁠CouchPotato search provider server for russian trackers

This is server for providing search API for CouchPotato⁠ for some russian trackers like RuTracker⁠.

⁠Installation/Running

Copy file config_example.yml to /etc/cp-config.yml and fill it with your login/password for RuTracker as well as host and port you want.

then run a docker container

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:9090:9090 -v /etc/cp-config.yml:/config/config.yml qk4l/cp-ru-server

You can specify CP_CONFIG_FILE env to change config file path.

⁠Note

Your CouchPotato server MUST have access to your PC with this server to send search requests. Also you should check if RuTracker is available from your network.

⁠How does it work?

• You run cp-ru-server on your PC/server/whatever
• You add custom search provider in CouchPotato settings like described here⁠
• As host you paste address of host and port
• When you search for a movie in CP:
  • CP server'll send search request to cp-ru-server instance
  • cp-ru-server will parse it and search on RuTracker for releases with such name and IMDB id
  • you'll see found releases as always
• When you want to add release to queue:
  • CP server'll send download request to cp-ru-server instance
  • as long as your client should be authorized on RuTracker for downloading, download links in JSON answers to CP are pointing cp-ru-server's address and port, but with different arguments
  • so on torrent file download request .torrent file for choosen release will be downloaded into cache subdirectory of current directory
  • aaaaand will be sent to CP server as a response

⁠What's working for now?

• Search on RuTracker, but with some limitations:
  • at least one of words should be at least 3 characters (because I remove short words (IMDB having some issues with namings sometimes⁠))
  • I'm not sure if searching using russian letters is working
  • I'm not sure if searching for russian/USSR movies is working (because of Unicode and stuff), also see previous item

⁠I love this! But…

⁠… but I need more features / not this / not exactly this / I want to use Sonarr⁠ / I want to use Headphones⁠ (underline whatever applicable)

Great! I'm also want to add more features for this server, but I don't have much time for developing and debugging. So, your issues/pull requests/suggestions are welcome! For now this is my want list:

• fix searching using russian (Unicode) letters / fix searching for russian/USSR movies
• support for authorization using login/hash instead of login/password
• add more trackers (like kinozal.tv⁠)
• add support for proxies
• search for ability to download .torrent files directly from RuTracker
• code cleanup/refactoring
